Which type of gas detector is most accurate?

Understanding how your gas detector work can help you simplify the decision making process when selecting equipment and technology to keep your staff safe.

Overview:

Reliable gas detection method is very important to effectively protect the life of workers. Dangerous gas is a common danger in industrial production environment, and industrial production is faced with unique challenges. Understanding how your gas detector work can help you simplify the decision making process when selecting equipment and technology to keep your staff safe.

WHICH TYPE OF GAS DETECTOR IS MOST ACCURATE?

All gas detectors offer accuracy, but some have enhanced safety benefits compared with most. This is because they simultaneously reduce the possibility of human error and malfunction, ensuring the gas detector is working at total capacity and providing complete safety.

The type of technology used within a gas detector depends on several factors – including where it will be used, what you require it for, and the variety of gases it is designed to detect, as different gases need different detection techniques.

Electrochemical gas sensors are primarily used for non-flammable gases, including O2, H2S and CO. Our Marine 4 model uses a catalytic sensor – and although this won't work in an inert atmosphere and will need calibration, it can pick up Hydrogen, whereas an infrared gas sensor can't.

When choosing a fixed gas detector, you have a choice, but infrared is much more expensive due to being more stable and offering its host of additional benefits. Marine 5 is customisable, so can it contain several different types of gas detection technology.

There’s also an added advantage attached with LEL Infrared technology – as it boasts a significant advantage over other gas detection methods. It is immune to two threats to gas detector function – sensor poisoning and drift. With no need to worry about these two issues (or constantly check, service and calibrate to avoid them) and an extended battery life, you can rest assured your gas detector is ready for action at all times.
